Platform Engineer - AI Engineering

The AI Platform Team at DRW builds the centralized software, operations, and governance layers that safely route users to the most cost-effective AI models, balancing low-friction access to frontier AI tools against a rapidly growing cost curve. As a Platform Engineer, you will help build and operationalize the firm's AI tooling ecosystem, working closely with the Team Lead and Senior/Staff engineers as the hands-on integrator connecting external cloud AI providers, internal models, and end-user tools into a unified control plane.

• Configure and manage multi-engine API gateways, implementing dynamic routing rules, rate limits, and fallback logic for LLM requests.
• Execute the technical migration and integration of firm-wide tools into the centralized management plane to ensure all AI traffic is securely logged and governed.
• Operate within the Shared Responsibility Model alongside the Cloud team to manage AI services deployed in enterprise landing zones, including Azure OpenAI instances, model deployments, and API key generation.
• Write robust Go and Python code to support the continuous sync loop for the usage dashboard and implement automated progressive friction mechanisms such as alerts.
• Partner with the Inference Infrastructure pod to ensure self-hosted, on-premise models are registered and routable within the AI gateways.
